By Jeremy Root | September 21, 2004

While No. 12 Virginia (3-0, 1-0 ACC) has dominated its first three opponents, outscoring them 151 to 28 and out-rushing them 911 yards to 269, the Cavaliers now enter a new phase of their schedule.

"I think we're eager for what the next part of the schedule brings on," Virginia coach Al Groh said.
